Japanese Mobile Gacha Games: Gatcha hand on your wallet and I'm never letting go!

Selected characters including monkey had a rate up on top of it.
Yeah, if I understand this thing correctly, all SSR are at 6% during Legend Fest, but Anchira, Anira and other Limited Edition characters were supposed to be at around ~10%.

People found out they weren't, and now all are angry.
 
I guess with this recent news I'll hold off on doing the surprise ticket and star roll ~_~

I should probably start leveling my new characters/weapons anyway

But what can we do about it? Even if they are being investigated, what good can that do? If there was really something shady about the monkey rate, what can we gain from that? The money has been paid
Please give us 10-pull gacha for free

When they nerfed 背水 (boost attack to inverse of HP, basically FF's valiant knife) and it nerfed Sara with it, people were refunded 10% of stones used to pull her. Something similar may or may not happen

I think I'll buy Surprise ticket, pick one character that I want and hold a 10roll ticket for the next legfest.

FYI for people doing the surprise ticket, if you wait till the last minute to buy it, then wait 7 days before getting it out of your gift box, you'll have 7 additional days from there to pick your surprise ticket character -- which should be enough time to get to the end of the month and time for another lege-fest. just don't forget to redeem the tickets...

Does anyone know what is the rate for SSR when there's a "human character rate up" event going on like this? Do they get x2 rate too?
Oh and New World started service from today, anyone trying that? You can get Kite as a login bonus too
Aaaaaaaaaand the server is on a emergency maintenance on the very first day

Casually playing Granblue on and off, even with the Ultimate Guide its amusing how little clue I have about what I'm doing ;) Going to hold off on spending cash until the whole English language vs global version thing gets nailed down. Just got my first job (Knight) to max, should I stick with Knight until I fill out all the Zenith Perks or push towards Dark Fencer (which I believe is the class one should aim for?) ?

Getting zenith perks isn't fast early on and it is capped by your rank. Best to work on unlocking more classes for mastery bonuses and still use dark fencer on difficult fights

Checked the various links, is there a translation of the basic job skills floating around?

Cool, working towards unlocking DF at the moment.

I can't begin the story. Can't farm materials to limit break my characters because they keep throwing events in my face. Now i have to grind for Ifrit summon and gears.

I've been done with current story update for a while now, but like you it took me forever to progress due to events. Story goes pretty fast though, so in a way it's good to take it slow.

Granblue feels pretty time consuming, possibly because I seem to suck at High/Low, damn casino!
Love reaching 45k in double up, get 3, pick HIGH, then card comes up 2...

Decided I'd throw a quid at the 90 GC daily summon, and out popped Meuru~u/Melleau. Not sure how good she is, but pretty chuffed to get an SSR on the cheap as it were.

The art in GBF is God-tier.

So since this is a Japanese gatcha thread, I figured I'd ask. For anyone on iOS, if I set up a Japanese iTunes account [to download the GBF app for easier re-rolling, those guest accounts!], what will happen to my iPhone the next time I sync it? I've read that iOS devices are only set up to handle one Apple account, so I'm worried that by creating a Japanese Apple account and sync'ing my device that all of my current content [apps, music, pictures, etc.] on my Canadian Apple account will be wiped. :/

It got easier for me deciding on when to double up again once I realized the card that's revealed will be the card you have to guess against next. Now, any time I see a 7-9 after a reveal, I just stop since it's just a coin flip at that point.

Back-to-back-to-back King vs ace reveals are soul crushing.

Since I'm farming Ifrit right now, is it worth getting those SR weapons or I should just go for the SSR weapon and summon?

I've only decided to finally do stuff out of main scenario now in Granblue, and I am addicted. Battles are so good, and it's only on hard so far. Very hard isn't happening right now lol and I really need a SSR summon. Currently farming Cour.

The sr weapons have atk up so if your fire pool is garbage it's worth it to buy a copy od the SR weapons for the atk up skill. But personally i would just focus on getting a copy of ifrit and the ssr weapon.

Also for the big boys who can beat the very hard stages in this event. If you run VH 3 to 5 times you get enough materials to buy 2 ap potions in the shop wich would pay back for the AP you lost when doing the VH stages. And you also get some Animas out of it.

Thanks for the tips. I usually do VH but I didn't notice the AP trade.
Also I see that the materials required for each trade increase each time you trade for one. I don't think I can get 4 Ifrit and 4 SSR wep ths time. Do you think I should just get one Ifrit and then go for 4 SSR?

use AP potions as much as you have and grab at least one ifrit and green summon if you don't have better ones. Then farm as much as you can ifrit trading items for 2 AP potions daily (the only thing that refreshes daily). And towards the end of event you can assess all your mats and pick either more weapons or summons.

Ifrit:
1) anima: 20; golden anima: 10, the burning thing: 30
2) anima: 40; golden anima: 30, the burning thing: 80
3) anima: 60; golden anima: 50, the burning thing: 120
4) anima: 80; golden anima: 70, the burning thing: 150

Weapon:
1) anima: 15; golden anima: 5, the burning thing: 20
2) anima: 30; golden anima: 20, the burning thing: 50
3) anima: 50; golden anima: 40, the burning thing: 80
4) anima: 75; golden anima: 60, the burning thing: 100

4) anima: 75; golden anima: 60, the burning thing: 100

Those sure cost a lot. I only have one Ifrit and one SSR weap now

jp wiki states that its the 4th rerun of ifrit and sagittarius and the 3rd rerun of colow (light). It will comeback later.

Also, I've been thinking. If I got 2 SSR Ifrit weapons, should I use one to limit break or should I just keep two for the ATK skill?
 
Ifrit:
1) anima: 20; golden anima: 10, the burning thing: 30
2) anima: 40; golden anima: 30, the burning thing: 80

Nice post.
Need to add the extra mats required to 4* Ifrit after you get 3* one:
100 golden anima; 200 orange claw-thing; 200 the burning thing

So even after you combine all 4 Ifrit, the grinding never truly ends. >.>

Apparently weapon can drop in Very Hard. Very low chance. I have used maybe 30 1/2 AP potions since event started.

So... what's it take to survive the Very Hard event summon battles. I tried it once earlier, and it was literally no chance. All my chars currently maxed too. Because I want better Magna Anima drop rates lol, I'm barely clearing Hard sometimes.

Apparently, some people are getting drops for the gold bar item from Hell difficulty.

I think I'm just going to pick up 1 of each summon and that'll be it. Can't do extreme without reviving. Maybe get some extra JP / SRs for leveling skills.

I really hate it when I entered a multi battle room for some exp, hit the boss once and then some random overpowered ppl come in and one hit the boss. Leaving me with only 50 or so exp. Sometime, it's not enough for them just being mvp, they have to kill the whole thing. Just wasted 5 BP like that

Here is my team, weapon and summon pool. I have a decent weapon pool and one dps SSR is enough to kill Ifrit on Very Hard. As subs I use random characters to level them up. My job is Hawkeye.

I have tried Extreme but trash mobs killed me fast. It's outright impossible with my setup.

Where did you get that many 1/2 AP pot?

I have started to collect login bonuses in April 2015.

You don't need to be too strong to clear VH. Here is my pathetic team yet still enough to kill 3 VH bosses this time without reviving. Job can be whatever but Dark Fencer can help a lot

I think I need more SSR summons D: I just finished maxing out a lot of the SSR weapons I had with halo dungeon fodder this last hour.

Also dumb question, but the SR sheep girl event only? I just noticed she's nowhere in my roster.

She was a bond character of the new years event. So you can't get her anymore and they are probaly not gonna rerun that event.

Oh, so I was supposed to have run that event with her. Lol D: I swapped her out for my SSRs to do story stuff and then. whomp D:

You didn't lose anything. She is useless. But the earth guy from the Beatrix event is nice. Did you miss him too?

omg. I was mostly skipping it because Hell Ifrit only drops like 4 chests with mats.

^The best solution if you can't run Extreme.
The material gathering on Very Hard is just too low.

Oh god, I never got around to trying that. lol. I've been scared to try event because I thought I was underleveled still ;-; Was he also bond?

Anyway here's my current setup . . . I tried VHard again and still got my ass handed to me pretty quick.

Your HP is way too low. Try leveling your Summons/weapons/characters for HP.

Also always at least try to do events. Because most of the time you get your AP back if you lose a stage that you haven't beat yet.
